Books for advent

If your relationship with God is feeling a bit flat at the moment (it happens to all of us at times), Advent can be a great opportunity to give it a bit of a jump-start. In fact, even if you and God are on really good terms at the moment, it's easy to lose sight of Jesus in all the busyness of the run-up to Christmas. 

Ironic, huh?

Here's some suggestions for an advent devotional book - a few pages for you to read each day, often with a suggested prayer. Ideal for helping keep you and God on track together as we prepare to celebrate Jesus' birth.

Tom Wright "Advent for everyone" - unpacking some passages from the New Testament about the coming of the Lord. Available as a book or on kindle. 

Michael & Rosemary Green "In touch with God" - looking at some Old Testament characters each day in December. Available as a book or on kindle. 

Paul David Tripp "Come, let us adore him" - looking at themes each day, with some suggestions for family discussions as well. Available as a book or on kindle. 

Tim Chester "The one true gift" - going slowly through an amazing passage about Jesus from Philippians 2. Available as a book or on kindle. 

Happy reading - and happy advent!
